Industrially, my Reactionary Absolute Monarchy led the way to an early lead with heavy factory construction, but most of my factories are sitting idle now at 5-10% capacity.

Vijanagar might happen since Persia is allied with me and is more powerful than them, but Ming is definitely safe.

I'd hoped to initially do the same with Vijayanagar and Ming, but with another victory like that I'd be ruined, so it's off the tables for now. I went to war to "convince" Delhi to join my sphere, and won a Pyrrhic victory, with 100,000 troops (or 1/4 of my soldier pops) lost, primarily due to attrition. Sphere-wise, I started with Jolof and Ethiopia, and have added Hedjaz and Persia peacefully. Borders haven't changed a whole lot except everyone eating away at Bohemia-Moravia, Bengal taking a lot of Vijayanagar, Poland-Lithuania becoming independent and a new neighbor of Poland and Lithuania, and Japan conquering Ryukyu.

The colonial nations got absorbed with the Vicky 2 converter, but they've been being released as puppets consistently, outside of Britain, likely due to being way over the colonial power limit (whatever effect that has).
